St. Joseph Catholic School is greatly encouraged that this new scholarship program has the potential to significantly benefit many of our families in need of financial aid and allow new families to experience the benefits of a Catholic education at St. Joseph.

These K-12 scholarships are based on financial need, not how well a child does in school; funding will be provided by donor taxpayers who donate to the scholarship organization.

Due to an over whelming response, there were issues with the application process. Numerous technology upgrades and contingency systems are in development to ensure a successful relaunch. This is a delay only and does not impact the availability of tax credit scholarships from Empower Illinois or other SGOs statewide.

There is no a date for when the application will be available but ample notice will be provided.

To receive real-time updates, please sign up for email communications through the Empower Illinois website and follow Empower Illinois on Facebook.

Last fall it was determined our church needed a new lower roof, new upper roof, a new furnace and air conditioning unit for the Parish Center and tuck pointing for the steeple. Estimated costs are approximately $95,000.

The lower roof and furnace and AC repairs have been completed with the rest of the work beginning in the spring.

We need your help to help finance this work.

If you would like to help with a contribution, just click on the link below and follow the instructions to donate.

Master Card, Visa, American Express and PayPal accepted

It's just that easy to help our parish raise funds for our roof repairs.

"Do not abandon yourselves to despair.

We are the Easter people and Hallelujah is our song."

Saint John Paul II

“To those who have been away...come back…

Christ Himself is waiting for you.

He will heal you; and you will be at peace with God.”

WATCH NOW ON FORMED

Olivia Hussey illuminates the life story of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the selfless missionary who brought hope, love and salvation to the poorest of the poor. The movie examines the fundamental moments of Mother Teresa's life from her childhood in Albania in the 1920s to her first calling as a nun, the decision to leave her order and live with the poorest of the poor, the vicissitudes of founding the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity, and her great work of service in Calcutta and the rest of the world.
